SUMMARY:Playful Planning: Enriching your Emergent Curriculum Approach
DESCRIPTION:Playful Planning: Enriching your Emergent Curriculum Approach \nPlayful learning experiences promote a sense of curiosity\, exploration\, and confidence\, which are what we all strive to achieve when we plan for our early childhood environment and our children’s experiences. To achieve this\, one of the most popular and best approaches is the emergent curriculum approach. This approach let’s the child lead the playful experiences and follow their own learning path. Our job\, as early childhood educators\, is to observe their interests and plan to either compliment or extend on these interests. Being intentional on how we prepare a responsive environment  is a key element to emergent planning. How we plan activities\, play experiences\, provocations and invitations and  make changes to our environment all depends on the dynamics of our group of children and our ability to really listen\, observe and learn about the children’s deeper interests and abilities. Let us walk alongside the children and join them in their journeys of wonder\, play and curiosity. Join me as we discuss planning strategies that work for everyone. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to planning for children’s play\, so let’s explore what your journey is with the children and how you can plan for play! \nObjectives: \n\nReview Emergent Planning Practices\nIdentify Planning Strategies based on the Balanced Approach to Emergent Planning\nTranslating Observations to Playful Planning\n\nNotes: \n\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you in the days prior to the workshop. Please click the link ten minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificates of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.

SUMMARY:NEW! We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families
DESCRIPTION:NEW! We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families \nLet’s talk about the other part of children…their family! Families come in all sizes\, cultures and expectations – they are as diverse as the children we work with! As the child’s primary caregiver\, it’s important that we demonstrate respect and value the child’s family as major contributors to a child’s growth and development. Let’s work together with families to create an amazing pathway of joyful learning for each child. This means we need to understand the families\, their culture\, their communication style and the information they give us about their child! Never underestimate the power of connecting with a child’s family. Let’s discover how we can build on our current practices to make stronger connections with our families…especially the ones that we struggle with! From communication\, to respect and value\, to inclusive practices\, it’s all how we approach the families and connect with them. The children are watching all of us – let’s show them what positive relationships look like…and learn how to create those relationships with adults! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the important roles families and educators play together in early childhood.\nDiscover family communication strategies that work.\nExplore various ways to build an inclusive environment for all families to feel a sense of belonging.\n\nNotes: \n\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you in the days prior to the workshop.
